It was announced this morning that Christopher Jackson will officially be returning to the Tony Award-winning, record-breaking, fan favorite musical Hamilton this fall.
Jackson, a member of the original Broadway cast, will be reprising his Tony-nominated role of George Washington for a strictly limited engagement at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Performances will begin on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. Jackson will depart the role on Sunday, January 3, 2027. Tickets are on sale now here at Broadway Direct, the official ticket seller of Hamilton.
Jackson’s return follows Hamilton’s extraordinary ten-year anniversary celebration on Broadway and continues a landmark period for the revolutionary musical, which opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6, 2015. Original cast member Leslie Odom, Jr. returned to the show last fall selling out his limited engagement.
“Returning to Hamilton as George Washington is a deeply meaningful homecoming,” said Jackson. “This show changed my life, and it remains one of the great honors of my career to be part of telling this story. To step back into this room, with this company and this audience, is something I will never take for granted.”
“Lin-Manuel wrote George Washington with Chris’s gorgeous voice and musicality in his head,” said Hamilton’s producer Jeffrey Seller. “How lucky are we that we get to experience his George Washington one last time?”
Jackson originated the role of George Washington in Hamilton’s Off-Broadway and Broadway productions, earning a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. He also received a Grammy Award as a principal soloist on the Original Broadway Cast Recording.
